At sunny side by any chance?
 They forgot to put a ramp at one end the other week was a sraight cut in the road so like hitting a wall or high curb. I will be suprised if I have not broke something or bent all my wheels at least the bang and shudders it made when I hit it in the gti. Felt worse than a car crash!  I had some idiot tailgating so was watching him and hit it at near 30 mph  :sad1:  I was told by someone else a mk4 golf hit it too and it dumped all his oil so wwas standed at the road side.

Is the old sump completely trashed? Not weldable for a spare.

I can send you a standard one that I've removed from a dogbone for measuring.
